Racers to Watch at 2013 USA Pro Challenge

Andrew Talansky (Garmin-Sharp)

1 / 8

American Andrew Talansky was leading Paris-Nice until Porte out-dueled him on the slopes of the race’s first summit finish. This time, the American hopes to get the better of his Australian rival, perhaps by capitalizing on his slow but steady rise to a top-10 finish at the Tour de France. He’s particularly well suited for the uphill time trial on Stage 5.
